  The SAP error message SP01R101 "No recipient specified" typically occurs when you are trying to send a spool request (like a print job) without specifying a recipient. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to print a document or send an email without providing the necessary recipient details.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Recipient Information: The most common cause is that the recipient's email address or printer destination has not been specified in the print settings.

  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to send output to the specified recipient.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify a Recipient:
  
  When you are in the print dialog, ensure that you have specified a valid recipient. This could be an email address for email outputs or a valid printer for print outputs.
  
  
  
  Check Output Device Settings:
  
  Go to transaction code SPAD (Spool Administration) and check the configuration of the output devices. Ensure that the devices are correctly set up and active.
